JOHN WAYNE GACY

Even by comparison with his fellow serial killers, John Wayne Gacy, 'the killer clown' has become something of an icon of pure evil. This is partly to do with the way he dressed up as a clown to entertain children at parties near his suburban Chicago home – what more sinister notion could there be than that beneath the clown's make-up lies a sex killer? And partly it is because of the sheer enormity of his crime: thirty-three young men raped and murdered, almost all of them buried beneath his suburban house.

John Wayne Gacy was born on 17 March 1942, St Patrick's Day, the second of three children born to Elaine Robinson Gacy and John Wayne Gacy Sr. He grew up in a middle-class district of northern Chicago, and was raised as a Catholic. His childhood was largely uneventful. Look a little closer, though, and there were troubles. John Gacy Sr was a misanthropic man who frequently took out his anger on his son through physical beatings and verbal abuse. John Gacy Jr in turn became very close to his mother. Aged eleven, he sustained a nasty accident when he was struck on the head by a swing. It caused him to have regular blackouts during his teens. During his teenage years he also complained of heart problems, though this seems likely to be just a symptom of a lifelong tendency to hypochondria – whenever he was under pressure he would claim to be on the brink of a heart attack.
